Dyers Moon

Filed Under Full Moon 

Friends have been wondering why I’m neglecting my gray roots and letting the purple streaks in my hair fade.  I’ve been waiting for this weekend—one of the best Moons of the year for dyeing. I know it’s 2012 and there are lots more important things to worry about. But the Moon is always pleased when we take advantage of her numerous small graces. This weekend, she promises that whatever you dye will take its color fabulously well. Whether you’re an artist dyeing textiles or a woman simply coloring her hair, your results will be particularly rich, vivid and long lasting.  When the Moon is full, everything in nature is more porous and absorbent; the same is true of water sign Moons. Put them together—a Full Moon in water sign Cancer and voila: intensified color!  I hope you have fun with it.

    This is lovely. I have not planned it on purpose but I will be getting my hair “colored” on the full moon also. No purple streaks though. Not as courageous as you!

    hmm… had a hair color appointment for Friday the 6th, but a high fever of unknown reason caused me to cancel it. I’m on a waiting list this week (but my fever, at least in the evening, is still with me although last night it was lower. I have an appointment for next Tuesday when hopefully this fever will be history. The fever has forced me to rest and reflect perhaps this is what I needed. In my younger days,
    I rarely let a fever, even a high one, stop me. I like to think I’ve gotten a bit wiser by age.

    oh dear… sorry about your fever! but you did the right moon-y thing, which is always listening to the body and the nurturing inner voice.
